I know that in a closed parcel of air, if we increase temperature then pressure rises and density remains constant If we warm a parcel of air that is open i.e not enclosed, such as the atmosphere. What happens to pressure? do we say it increases or decreases? The book I have states; If the...

Hello, I've noticed that some professors will jump between second quantized creation/annihilation operators and wavefunctions rather easily. For instance \Psi_k \propto c_k + ac_k^{\dagger} with "a" some constant (complex possibly). I'm fairly familiar with the second quantized notation, and...

What is the relationship between negative energy, negative mass and antiparticles? I have read some articles but I am still confused. Does negative mass exist? Does negative energy exist with the exception of the Kasimir effect which I understand. Are antiparticles really only the negatice...

Hello, I can not understand that a motor (pumping) requires a current of 63 A under a voltage of 390 vac, and requires a current of 72 A under a voltage of 365 vac. Normally when the voltage increases the current increases with (ohm law). Is that the power delivered by the engine which is 37 kw...

Hello PhysicsForum, There is something I don't get at the end of this course notes PDF file. In the last section, titled "Comoving distance and redshift", which I have copied below, we have a short derivation of the comoving distance and redshift relation. Almost all is well, the only thing...

This is just a question that has been bothering me. I am not a student of physics, which is probably clear from my question. Hope it at least makes sense: You have a windmill with no friction. The wind is blowing at a constant speed causing the windmill to spin at 100 RPM.(a) The windmill...

I'm just looking for conceptual clarification re: the relationship between matter density and the Hubble parameter in the Friedmann equation. Just for quick reference, the equation I'm looking at is H2 = 8πGρ/3 - ka-2 (I'm working through Liddle's Intro text, and for now we're ignoring the...

Why the mass of disc does not changes according to Einstein's equation(e=mc^2) when we insert it inside a disc player and it shows us energy in the form of video on a tv/monitor screen. I think there's something wrong in this question, can anybody point out the error with reasoning.
